"and they were adept in many fighting styles"
Never said they couldn't fight. They'd crush anyone without good fight training. "Moron" No, you are, for arguing about [censored] you don't understand. |

Aikido, with the right instructor, sounds perfect for you.

If you want to learn how to fight, do boxing or thai boxing, or some kind of competition wrestingling/grappling (Brazilian JJ/Judo/wrestling, probably in that order of preference), or a combination of those (ie one stand up and one ground/grappling). But apparently you don't, so I don't know.

This is entirely dependent on where you live. There are some great ICMA instructors, which would probably be right up your alley, but so many quacks that it's a lot easier to recommend a teacher than a style.

Of all the martial arts threads I've seen in OOT, this one ranks really high on percentage of lame ass comments and dumb prejudice.

HAPKIDO!
trust me on this. hapkido is pragmatic, hardcore, violent stuff that will save your life. by the way. i took tae kwon do for a year. and i now see it as a waste of time... who the hell is gonna successfully do a spinning crescent kick successfully. you'd get clocked in the turn. |

K Im gonna semi bump this, as I was gone for all this lovely and heartwarming discussion.
As far as ninjitsu, to the guy who disputed my claims that I took it based upon what I told him, all I can remember from the class is alot of trips and grabs, using my opponests weight against him. It could be I had a bad instructor, but there that is. As far as whether or not I want to fight, absolutely. Not that I think I'll ever need it, but in bars, it seems like every lil guy with a napoleon complex wants to pick a fight with the tall guy, and Im sick of being slow. Im going to be in/near Austin, TX by Jan. of this upcoming year, and this is when I want to start. I like certain aspects of Tai Chi, being the spiritual side of it all, but I dont want to just do that, because most of the time it seems it's being taught for health. Kung Fu: haha, I would love to learn a style of Kung Fu, but I think this would be the hardest to find a competant teacher in, because kung fu just sounds cool. Also, I wouldnt know where to start as far as style. Last but not least, I really am not interested in grappling styles. As a big dude, I prefer to stay on my feet. Thanks again for the good advice so far, and what I hope will be more. And DieBitter... great advice... Ive been "waxing the car" for hours now. ..that sounded wrong [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] |
